RELEASED PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST, LATE, DAMAGED,
DELAYED, DESTROYED, MISDIRECTED, INACCURATE, STOLEN, FALSE, INCOMPLETE, OR
GARBED ENTRIES OR REFERRALS. SUCH ENTRIES ARE VOID AND WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: Entry must be in keeping with Sponsor’s image & not be
offensive or inappropriate, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. 
Entry must not defame or violate or infringe upon the rights of any person or
entity. Entrants must at all times comply with the www.Rakuten.com Terms and
Conditions. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entry and remove any
post that it determines, in its sole discretion, is not in compliance with these
Official Rules.

Only a maximum of five (5) entries per Entrant per Entry Period. Each Entrant is
eligible to win only a total of one (1) prize during the Sweepstakes Period. 
Entries or referrals generated by script macro or other automated means or by
any means that subverts the entry process will be void. All entries become the
property of Sponsor. Entries in excess of the stated limitation will be void.

4.    Odds:  Odds of winning a prize depend on the number of eligible entries
received.

5.    Winner Selection and Notification of Potential Winner:  One (1) potential
winner will be selected on or about the day following that Entry Period at 1:00
p.m. ET at random by a representative of Sponsor from among all eligible entries

The Potential Winners will be notified by the following method at Sponsor’s sole
discretion, using the information provided at the time of entry:

On Instagram, one (1) winner per Entry Period will be contacted via direct
message and will be announced in a comment on the giveaway post no later than
May 20, 2024.

Potential Winners will be required to respond (as directed) within three (3)
calendar days of attempted notification. The failure to respond timely to the

randomly select an alternate potential winner from among the remaining eligible
entries, up to three (3) attempts. Potential winners will be required to create
a free Rakuten account to receive prizes (if applicable and potential winners do
not have a free Rakuten account already) and may be required to execute and
return an affidavit of eligibility / liability / publicity release (“Release”). 
Up to three (3) alternate potential winners may be randomly selected for any
prize from among the remaining eligible entries if a potential winner for any
prize: (i) cannot be reached; (ii) fails to prove eligibility, obtain all
signatures on the Release and/or return any documents or information required by
Sponsor in a timely manner as required pursuant to these Official Rules; or
(iii) cannot accept or receive the prize for any reason. In the event of a
dispute as to the identity of the entrant or winner, the entrant or winner (as
applicable) will be deemed to be the person in whose name the Rakuten account
was opened and he/she must comply with these Official Rules.

whole or in part, if in Sponsor’s opinion any fraud, technical failure or other
factor beyond our control impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the
Sweepstakes. If terminated, Sponsor reserves the right at its sole discretion to
select the potential winners in a random drawing from among all eligible,
non-suspect entries received prior to action taken or as otherwise deemed fair
and appropriate by Sponsor. Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to
disqualify any individual (and to disqualify false entries or referrals of any
individual) who is found to be tampering with the entry process or the operation
of the Sweepstakes or Sponsor’s website, to be acting in violation of these
Official Rules, or to be acting in an unsportsman-like or disruptive manner, or
with the intent to disrupt or undermine the legitimate operation of the
Sweepstakes, or to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person, and
Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages (including, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees) and other remedies from any such person to the fullest extent
permitted by law including, criminal prosecution. Entrants may not enter with
multiple identities or use any automated system, bot or other device or artifice
to enter or obtain more than the maximum number of qualified entries.

9.     Limitations of Liability:  If for any reason an entry is confirmed to
have been erroneously deleted, lost or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, the
Entrant’s sole remedy is another entry in the same Sweepstakes during the
Sweepstakes Period. Potential winners also agree to release, discharge,
indemnify and hold harmless Sponsor, Instagram, and their respective parents,
subsidiaries, affiliates and advertising and promotion agencies and all of their
respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents
(collectively, “Released Parties”) from and against any claims, damages,
disability, attorneys’ fees, and costs of litigation and settlement, as well as
any liability due to any injuries, damages or losses to any person (including
death) or property of any kind resulting in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, from: (i) use, redemption, acceptance, possession, ownership, or
misuse of any prize, or (ii) participation in any Sweepstakes-related activity
or participation in this Sweepstakes. Released Parties are not responsible for
lost, late, incomplete, inaccurate, stolen, misdirected, undelivered, delayed,
garbled or damaged entries referrals, communications, Releases or mail; or for

failures or difficulties, or other errors or difficulties of any kind whether
human, mechanical, electronic, computer, network, typographical, printing or
otherwise relating to or in connection with the Sweepstakes, including, without
limitation, errors or difficulties which may occur in connection with the

May 31, 2024 will not be honored.
